Hilarious Obama Stuff and More...

-Here's the text to Obama's truly great speech. It was great. I loved it. I'm still waiting for platforms before he gets my vote or even casual endorsement.

-Here's the Onion's AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING mockery of it. Read both of them, seriously.

-Agreed. The Fed is too easy on Wall Street. Let them flounder for at least a bit. This goes back to my earlier rantings about "taxpayer interests" in these massive companies which allows them to exploit exploit exploit in the good times and get massive government bailouts at the end. If there is the golden parachute after every failure, what is the incentive to not take stupid risks? We must let these companies fail so they have STRONG INCENTIVES to run their ship correctly. We won't be regulated in the upswings, but we'd love your help if we fail...

-Flattered, but not sure UCLA wants the Sports Guy on its bandwagon. It's getting mighty heavy already.

-Even Volcker agrees. Shocker there. But he's right.

-Hilarious.

-Great little article on where true health care spending in this country comes from.

-Think about how your money is spent before patting yourself on the back for donating to charity. It can do MORE harm than good.

-Cheap labor in China is reducing burgalaries in the US? Interesting.

-What kind of Duke hater are you?

-The NIT is still looking for teams.
